looks nice, any idea when rvz02/ml08 will be available in europe? pricing? any reviews coming?

I will. There is no point in "upgrading" to 970 and 980 is too expensive for my liking. Actually, I wouldn't get 780 either if not the fact that upgrading from 7950 to (eventually) 780 was pretty much free thanks to mining and reselling GPUs... I was considering second 780, but probably not...

Because of low supply/high demand and VAT price of 970 is much higher in my country, but assuming the 330$ price tag, 290X shouldn't cost more than 270$ while 290 should be 250$. There has to be a noticable difference in price between 290/970, because NV not only is faster and clocks better...

Anyone is running GTX 780 DirectCu II SLI? 780 prices dropped and I might have a good deal on second Asus GPU, for my dual GPU configuration. My PSU should handle it ezpz. The only thing I am concerned are temperatures. When my rig consisted of 7950OC + 280X for mining purposes, god, it was...

Are there any reliable tests, comparing GTX 780 OC'ed to about 1200MHz boost clock(I suppose you can call it below average for a B1 chip) to GTX 970 OC to 1400-1500MHz boost clock?

It downclocks on 144hz only for people with one monitor plugged in. I actually asked about it a while back on blurbusters. You can read about it here. Doubt NVIDIA is going to fix it: II am using powerstrip to change between 121hz/144hz on my VG278HE. All fullscreen games force...

it also reduces input lag in most games.

Well it is a great deal in the US but in most UE countries you have to add 23%VAT and 14% duty. Plus all the hassle with the warranty.. and shipment of the monitor to Korea would cost me at least 30$ afair. Also I can deduct the tax on electronics bought in my country. All in all, I bought...

Looks fine. I am getting up to 70c/70% fan speed with stock bios, 1.2V core and ~1225 clock (can't remember exactly)

right now there is absolutely no reason for a price drop on amd cards

1220 core. yeh... my reference R9 290(@290X) was stable at 1025/1300 on stock voltage and maybe 1080 core with max voltage. it was way too loud for overvolting though now I'm a happy Asus DirectCu II 780@1254/1600 user

after over a week of testing in multiple games/benchmarks, I think my Asus DirectCu II @ 1241/1675 is stable. I've tried skyn3t bios but stock gave better memory results and it was 2-3c cooler. I am getting about 70c@GPU/85c@VRM absolutely max (long gaming period with 100% load, closed case...

well, for 60hz/1080p 770/280x is somewhat enough, but on maxed settings it will still dip to 40 fps in demanding games while 780 should keep it much closer to 60. i believe that overclocked GTX 780 or non reference R9 290 (tri-x!) have pretty good performance per dollar

GTX 780

I see no reason to wait if you can grab GTX780 in affordable price. Unless you want to wait nearly a year for Maxwell which is probably going to be only slightly better
